Fujitsu’s Initiatives for carbon neutrality in the network services/systems

As both smartification and digitization are progressing in several sectors, more than 100 billion IOT devices will be connected to ICT infrastructure in 2030. These IOT devices is expected to be seen not only in current common usage like the censor devices, but also in lots of use cases, such as XR technology requiring large-volume and real-time data communication, remote medical service with high-definition image, remote operation in industry and remote operation of construction machinery. By 2030, accelerating data traffic due to the rapid increase of connections will result in more than 30 times IP traffic and 2 times power consumption of network related facilities compared with in 2018.*1 Moreover, power consumption in ICT sector is increasing because more computing resources are required for enabling rapid and efficient processing/analysis of enormous data.

Therefore, to mitigate the environmental impact, actions for reducing the power consumption of ICT through innovative technology, such as the densification of devices and AI technology, is essential.

Fujitsu is promoting its activities for the reduction of power consumption in hardware, software and whole network based on the open & disaggregation technology of network by developing environment-friendly products and services in wireless system and optical transport system.

Power saving of optical transmission system

In the optical transport network, significant reduction of energy consumption per bit of transmission data is pursued by low power consumption LSI for high-capacity system.

Fujitsu is working for the reduction of power consumption not only during product operation, but also throughout the product lifecycle (product design, material selection, manufacturing, distribution, disposal, etc.).
